Safety Instructions

READ and SAVE These Instructions

WARNING:

• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount fan directly from building structure and/or an outlet box marked acceptable for fan support of 70 lbs (31.8 kg) and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
• To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing or servicing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fan must be installed with an isolating wall control/switch.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the blade brackets, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
• Chemical burn hazard. Keep batteries away from children. This remote contains a lithium button cell battery. If a new or used lithium button/coin cell battery is swallowed or enters the body, it can cause severe internal burns and can lead to death in as little as 2 hours. Always completely secure the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and keep it away from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention. Dispose of cells properly and keep away from children. Even used cells may cause injury.
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the product.

Choosing the Right Installation Location

Check the room dimensions:

Ensure at least 30 inches from blade tip to the nearest wall or obstruction.

Ensure at least 7 feet from the bottom edge of the blade to the floor.

Check the outlet box:

You must be able to secure the fan to building structure or a fan-rated outlet box.

Checking the Ceiling Angle:

Standard Mounting

For flat ceilings, hang your fan by a standard downrod. Some fans come with a shorter downrod for a low-profile installation.

Angled Mounting

For angled or vaulted ceilings:

1. You will need a longer downrod (sold separately at HunterFan.com).
2. If your ceiling is angled greater than 34°, you will also need an Angled Mounting Kit (sold separately at HunterFan.com).

A little more information on Angled Mounting: For optimum performance and appearance, a longer downrod should be used with your Hunter ceiling fan when installing on a high or angled ceiling. If your ceiling is angled greater than 34°, you will also need an Angled Mounting Kit.

Hunter Pro Tip: Determining if you need an Angled Mounting Kit: Fold the provided guide on the dotted line. Place it against the wall, sliding it towards the ceiling. If the guide touches the wall but not the ceiling, you need an angled mounting kit.

Installing the Ceiling Bracket

You have two options for installation. Pick which one works best for your location. Remove any existing bracket prior to installation. Only use the provided Hunter ceiling bracket that came in your fan's box.

Do this first! Turn Power OFF.

To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box associated with the wall switch location.

Option 1: Machine Screws

Use machine screws (provided with outlet box) and washers when securing to an existing ceiling fan-rated outlet box. Make sure it is securely installed and acceptable for fan support of 31.8 kg (70 lbs) or less.

ANGLED MOUNTING TIP: For angled ceilings, point the opening toward the peak.

Option 2: Wood Screws

Use wood screws and washers (included) when securing to a support structure with an approved electrical outlet box. Drill 9/64" pilot holes in the support structure to aid in securing the ceiling bracket with hardware found in the hardware bag.

Hardware needed: Washer (x2), Wood Screw (x2)

Installing the Downrod

Follow the steps below if you are using the downrod that came pre-assembled in your box. Need to install a longer or shorter downrod? Check out the guide at the end of this manual.

Step 1: Prepare the Downrod

Remove the pre-installed setscrew so that the downrod can be inserted.

Step 2: Wire the Fan

Pass all wires to one side of the horizontal bar in the downrod assembly. Hand tighten the downrod (at least 4-5 full turns) until it stops. Trim the wires coming from the fan so that 8 inches remain coming from the top of the downrod.

Hunter Pro Tip: The ground wire attached to the downrod is approximately 8 inches.

Step 3: Secure the Downrod

Tighten the setscrew with pliers. DO NOT HAND TIGHTEN.

FAN FALL HAZARD

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• ALWAYS tighten setscrew with pliers.
• DO NOT hand tighten setscrew.
• CHECK the setscrew is tight using pliers each time you change fan direction.

Hanging the Fan

Slide the canopy over the downrod and wires.

NOTICE: To prevent damage to the fan, ALWAYS lift holding either the fan housing or the downrod.

Place the downrod ball into the slot in the ceiling bracket.

Progress Check: Your fan should look like this.

Note: Fan style may vary.
